- words of wisdom from the 5th grade class
Alexz Schasfoort recently received the very prestigious President's Award for Educational Achievement at the assembly of the International School of Curacao. His award was for "Outstanding Academic Achievement". It was one of three awards presented for Academics and Civil Service. The award was signed by President Obama and the United States Secretary of Education.
Among other requirements, this award required an A average in all subjects. This was a huge feat for Alexz coming from a non-grading environment and also with his placement in intermediate level Dutch and Spanish studies.
This award extends from a solid base from Lake Ridge Academy. Every project he turned in, fallowed his "personal best" guidelines (thanks Mrs. Lane). His last library project was proclaimed a '200% amazing" by his very rigid British bred instructor.
